As Long As

My husband and I are retired;
Our car is an old Subaru.
Our lifestyle has never required
A trade-in for cars that are new.

As long as the engine is running,
To get from Point A to Point B,
A late model we will be shunning,
No fobs for my husband or me.

Yet circumstance somehow conspired,
With mileage and tread in the mix,
That our car will, like us, be re-tired,
So together, we’ll have our last licks!

I am hoping that our current vehicle will be the last one we will own.
